- My guess is it is the speakers. For a $1200 system, you should spend a
- minimum of $300 of it on speakers (I'd lean toweards $600). Try borrowing
- (or buy and return) some $300 Celestian, B&W, Paradigms. Mirage, etc.
- speakers. These should be in another league than your Jensen's (but I
- could be wrong as I haven't listened to them).
